Memories

Soften the pain

I revisit

Again and again

.

Thinking of you

My darling Angel son

The Christmas lights have been switched on early

To add a little cheer in these strange times

A late afternoon drive through the town

Friday 30th October

.

Time travelling for a brief memory

A vignette of a long held moment

Suspended gently in distant space

Our love the main component

.

Just miss you so much

My darling Angel son

Thursday 29th October

.

Love you so much

Out of reach of my touch

To the moon and back

On an orbital track

Way beyond the stars

Past Jupiter and Mars

.

Thinking of you

Beloved Angel son

xxxxx

A quick walk down the hill to see the waves

High tide, red flags, not a lot of beach left

Bubbling white water

Half term holidaymakers

A good swell hitting the Island

A few surfers braving the pounding of the waves

The power of the waves rushing up the beach sometimes catches people out

Wednesday 28th October

.

Up and down

Smile then frown

Back and forth

Cold then warmth

Come and go

Fast or slow

Side to side

Show and hide

To and fro

Ebb then flow

.

Thinking of you

Beloved Angel son

Tuesday 27th October

.

I miss you

I really do

.

Sad and blue

But tears now few

.

I will push through

And dreams come true

.

A rainbow’s hue

Smile at the view

.

I’ll look up to

Whence you flew

.

Love you poppet

Treasured Angel son

Sunbeams

Silver linings

Crepuscular rays

Looking down on the harbour and Smeaton’s Pier

Monday 26th October

.

Understanding loss

Becomes so very clear

When it happens

To someone you hold dear

.

And it hurts

It pains

But your memory

Remains

.

Love you sweetheart

Sunday 25th October

.

Life changes

And has changed

One second, one day

One minute, one night

One breath, one moment

Memories of you

Will never fade away

.

Thinking of you

Beloved Angel son

xxxxx

A squirrel on a bench

High tide in the harbour this morning

Saturday 24th October

.

Just holding it together

With dreams and sticky tape

No outward emotion showing

Keeping everything shipshape

Painting on that smiley mask

Allowing sorrow to escape

Moving forward slowly

Over the bumpy landscape

.

Thinking of you

Missing you

Remembering you

Loving you

.

Friday 23rd October

.

Not much changes

But I do try

To be happy

And getting by

Behind the smile

Tears in my eye

Not surprising

My sweetie pie

That you’re not here

Makes me sigh

It’s just not fair

I question why

.

Missing you so much

Precious Angel son

xxxxx

A beautiful sunny morning

Thursday 22nd October

.

It’s been so long

I grieve alone

As time moves on

I’m on my own

.

Remembering you

Is what I do

That’ll see me through

With love so true

.

Missing you as always

Beloved Angel son
